Wolf Theiss

Full Description

At Wolf Theiss we strongly believe that a company that employs a diverse workforce is better able to understand the demographics of the global marketplace it serves, can offer more unique perspectives and is thus better equipped to thrive in that marketplace. We have adopted a mandate for multicultural inclusion where we strive to be a recognized leader known in both the business community and the profession as an exceptionally well-integrated firm.

Over 45% of our talented lawyers are women, and with about 60% of our new joiners being female, this number is increasing by the day. With 14 offices across the CEE/SEE region we have a highly diverse geographical footprint. Currently, our workforce comprises more than 25 different nationalities. Although English is used as the official language of Wolf Theiss, the firm members speak 30 different languages. When working on projects, our view is that heterogeneous, multi-cultural teams consistently outperform homogeneous teams on a variety of tasks.

Our Vienna office is where it all began over 50 years ago. We have since built a reputation as one of the most respected names in Austrian law, winning numerous awards along the way – most recently being named as Austrian Law Firm of the Year 2013 by Chambers & Partners.

The team now includes over 130 lawyers, most of whom are multilingual and have practiced abroad – so there is a real multi-national character to the practice. This is important, because it gives us a real understanding of the legal systems and business climates in many jurisdictions, not just our own.
